Monroe County Towns North

[k2hz]

It appears that the 460.075 link to TG2441 Towns North has been discontinued. All the other Monroe LE UHF links seem to be operating but 460.075 has gone silent. I listened for a long time and normal activity on TG2441 and nothing on 460.075.

I am wondering why any of the UHF links are still up after so many years and all agencies apparently completely on the Monroe/Ontario P25 TRS.

Just a matter of time probably. It seems like it has taken Monroe county years and years to get agencies over to the TRS.

My concern is, if 460.075 is actually deprecated or is it just broken and nobody noticed or cares? I also verified no activity on 460.275 while Airport Sheriff TG9711 is active. The TAC channels are also questionable but don't have enough activity to be sure.

Does any one have any knowledge of the status of the UHF channels? I am reluctant to mark any frequency deprecated without confirmation it has been taken out of service. I may put a note on the Monroe County Law Enforcement category that Law Enforcement operates primarily on the Monroe/Ontario system and continued use of the UHF channels is questionable.

I don't want to see anyone buy a new UHF conventional scanner to monitor Monroe LE if it is definitely going away soon.

Towns North has been off for a while, the TACs have also been disconnected from their detail zone patches.
Anyone who wants to scan Monroe Law should get a 7/8 P2 scanner capable of linear simul, because the UHFs are being de-linked from their trunked counterparts.

I seem to remember seeing at one point that it was for interoperability with outside (not Monroe County, not NYSP) agencies.

Or maybe that came to me in a dream.

Doubtful since adjacent counties are VHF or 800. The last I heard, probably a year or more ago, is that some Monroe agencies had old radios still in use and no hurry to replace them.

That's not who I meant. The post mentioned federal agencies.

Very possible that the post was wrong, or maybe I really AM imagining it.

It IS interesting that the old UHF channels have been patched for so long. Sounds like someone was (or is) using them.
